I'm going to assume that the question should say “at a profit of 5%”.

Restate question in the form of a equation.

Let C = the cost price of the item.

C + 0.705 C = C - 0.05 C + Rs 50

0.05 C = - 0.05 C + Rs 50

0.10 C = Rs 50

C = Rs 500

The cost price of the item is Rs 500

I hope this help you

Jane took a train traveling at an average speed of 60 mph from Boston, MA to Washington, D.C. The trip took 8 hours. On her way
Trava [24]

Answer:

6.4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gave us the following details:

Average speed = 60mph

Time spent on trip = 8 hours

Average speed of express train on way back = 75mph

T = distance/speed

D = distance

V = speed

T = d/v

d = v(t)

d = 60 x 8

= 480

Such that

480/75

= 6.4 hours.

That is 6 hours 40 minutes is the length of time it would take on the trip home.

Thank you!

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLIST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST !!
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Graph (6, 5) and (-6, -3), and then use a ruler (optional), and draw a line between them, and a little after the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2/3x + 1

Substitute different numbers for x, and find y:

You don't really want to work with fractions, so try to find a number that when multiplied by 2/3, gives you a whole number

x = 6

y = 2/3(6) + 1

y = 12/3 + 1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

Point: (6, 5)

x = -6

y = 2/3(-6) + 1

y = -12/3 + 1

y = -4 + 1

y = -3

Point: (-6, -3)

Graph these two points, and then use a ruler (optional), and draw a line between them, and a little after the points.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its car has a 35.935.9 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been co
Serjik [45]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

For the given claim , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: \mu=35.9

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: \mu\neq35.9

Since alternative hypothesis is two-tailed , so the test is a two-tailed test.

Given : Sample size : n=220  ;

Sample mean: \overline{x}=35.6  ;

Standard deviation: s=2.2

Test statistic for population mean:

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\dfrac{35.6-35.9}{\dfrac{2.2}{\sqrt{220}}}\approx-2.02

By using the standard normal distribution table of z , we have

P-value ( two tailed test ) : 2P(Z>|z|)=2(1-P(Z

=2(1-P(z

Since , the P-value is greater than the significance level of \alpha=0.02 , it means we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

the diffrence of two numbers,a and b,is 21,the diffrence of five times a and two times b is 18 what are the values of a and b
Triss [41]

Answer:

a=-8

b=-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

first number is a

second number is b

the difference of two numbers,a and b,is 21

so, we get

a-b=21

we can solve for 'a'

a=b+21

the difference of five times a and two times b is 18

so, we get

5a-2b=18

now, we can plug 'a'

5(b+21)-2b=18

now, we can solve for b

5b+105-2b=18

3b+105=18

3b=-87

b=-29

now, we can find 'a'

a=-29+21

a=-8
